Thanx guys. I will be checking the caps in the power supply. Besides the meter I also have an LCR meter. I usually don't use a film cap if it measures more than 10% off value. For electrolytics I usually avoid them if they are more than 10 years old. But, in my power supply the caps are all film, except for 2 in the driver/splitter tube power supply. Of which one showed some leakage but, I had previously removed that one prior to the power up so I am not sure about the other caps. regards, primo
